I knew that I would have to put this table together, but I was a little concerned when I opened the box and saw all the parts.  I tried to talk my husband into helping me put it together, but sadly, he had "something " else to do.  Seriously, ladies, if you can look at the diagrams, read and you can turn a screw driver or allen wrench, you can do it.  The only thing I needed help with was when I had to connect the first two sides together.  I had my daughter hold the two sides, while I got the screws started and the rest I could do without help.  It took me an hour and 15 minutes from start to finish.  It looks gorgeous and you could either dress it up or down depending on the lamp or whatever you put on top.  It is heavy and seems very sturdy.  Make sure you check the dimensions, as it is fairly large.
